Students felt that the best aspect of this course was the very interesting, if very chal enging subject matter. Students liked the weekly quizzes that helped them stay on top of the materials, and felt that the sections were helpful in reviewing and further explaining the materials. Many students did not like that they were expected to have read the book before class, however, and that having a substitute teach was confusing because materials were repeated or skipped entirely. Suggestions for improvement included ensuring that the professor would be there for the duration of the entire semester, and creating a course syllabus that clearly outlined what was going to be taught on what day. Students also wanted more readily available study materials, such as homework assignments, past exams, or additional exercises to help them prepare for the exams. Prospective students should be prepared to study very hard for many hours every single day, and be aware that they will mostly be learning the materials on their own. Students must have a basic chemistry background and be organized and self-motivated enough to keep up with the reading to stay on top of the materials.
